X-MEN First Class

The best among the marvel stories turned into movies. Best among the x-men series at mukhang walang kinalaman sa naunang tatlo. Mas gusto ko kesa sa Wolverine and i really appreciate his cameo appearance, like saying “So Captain Amreica, they say your the first avenger. But i am the first X-Men. argh.” pero hindi naman pirate si Wolverine.

The pacing was very much appreciated, with enough tension in every sequence, which by the way every sequence was interesting.

The milieu was very interesting. The post was years was a dream for production designers. Wala pa naman ako nun gmga panahong iyun ,pero damang dama ko sa itsura yung panahon. But more than the looks, the language, the nuances, the color of the film, ay, ang ganda.

With all of these, i forgave the minor details which i didn’t quite get, but i will try to enumerate still.

I didn’t get why Erik killed the two guards but not Sebastian. Why did he wait so long to avenge her mother when he could have killed the man right when his power was powered by his anger.

Erik and Xavier’s friendship could been more romanticized. Magneto’s vengeance and Raven’s identity crisis overpowered the plot.

Magneto became the next Sebastian. though it was verbalized when Erik said that he believes Sebastian, but Sebastian killed his mom. The two have the same character and soon to be goal. Being influenced by a lot of soap opera, i waited for a line like “…but i would never be like you…”

Pero huwag ding sisihin ang pagkahilig ko sa mga pinoy drama. Ang teleserye ng goal ni Magneto to avenge her mother, then it turned out that he wanted to be the next messiah. I think, better this would if they romanticized the way Erik saw the sufferings of the Jews. There was a hint, but i expected or wanted a little more. just a little… or more.

I was wrong in thinking that this was the alamat ng X-Men. This is more of Alamat ni Magneto, followed by “Ang Tunay na Banda ay Blue” starring Mystique and Beast. Then lastly ang mga leads ng X-Group. Si Professor X ang magiging leader of course ng X-Men . Si Havoc naman, na kapatid ni Scot aka Cyclops will lead the X-Factor at si Banshee ay magiging mahalagang member ng X-Force if not the leader as far as i remember.
